A 6' x 26' bronze sculpture is located within a mini-park designed by Sanborn that links Stamford's past and its future. A walkway edged by massive granite slabs is suggestive of the name given to the city by early indigenous peoples: Rippowam, or "Cliff of Rocks." The serpentine bronze screen contains a passage from Native American lore in English, the Algonquin language, and the binary "language" of computers.
